I agree on Shugart who is also a great student I hear.I have no clue. Seems like our kind of kid. Maybe not quite athletic enough to play OLB and a tad small to play ILB? I don't know.I just know it's really hard to know all the ins and outs from the bleacher seats. I typically gauge the quality of prospect by the other schools that also want him. FU in my book is pretty good company. I too get frustrated by kids I see that we pass on.

When it comes to recruiting players, I don’t think a kid should get any kind of special consideration over other kids just because he’s from Spartanburg High School. There might be a better option out there for us. Of course as a Dorman grad I am very biased against SHS!

Do they fit culturally, academically? Do they fit into the scheme of things at their position? (IQ, skill set)... Are they total team guys? What their work ethic? Are they coachable? There's a lot of things to be considered... I am sure Coach Ayers and staff have a checklist as to what they look for and look for at each spot... Trust the process... Their is some success behind it, don't ya think? Not everyone is fit for the SHD people.

Saw on twitter from Coach Gesperato that the ILB room just got better. Big time commitment last night. Is this Kalen Allen or somebody new? And just one last update on the Shugart ILB from Spartan High. This week he received preferred walk on status at USC and it was announced yesterday that he is a finalist for Mr. Football in S.C. I know we've talked with him and recruited him and there are probably a myriad of good reasons why he hasn't received an offer from us (heck, maybe he doesn't want to stay home or doesn't like Wofford for some reason, who knows). Just really, really hope he doesn't like the color purple and doesn't accept that Furman schollie offer.

I would think being 6-0, top 5 in the country and just beating El Cid should be REALLY helpful on the recruiting trail, particularly for anyone on the fence or being pursued by our regional competitors.
